Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

I'm going to copy and past a comparison I made on the 2ksports forums. This should give some perspective on the overall rating.

My god Batum is only rated 69 and The Trail Blazers wouldnt trade Batum for Gibson and Deng.

However check this out. When I compare both Batum and Deng who has a 77 overall I cant say I would rather have Deng. Look at their individual ratings.

http://community.2ksports.com/commun...?l=558151&t=27

Batum has better three point shooting, layups, dunks, slightly better hndls and pass, better defensive stats all around, better speed, vert, quickness. Basically all Deng really has is strength, rebounding, and overall boosting do-nothing rating offensive awareness. Yes I would rather have the guy with the 69. Oden, Camby, and Aldridge can handle the rebounding. Give me three point shooting, dunking, and defense.

You see my point? The overall is just a number. Give me the guy with the 69 over the 77 if he has the ratings that matter.

The overall rating is just a player ranking tool
Thats not to say the individual ratings are good

This is not FIBA 2k11 its NBA 2k11. I don't care how good a player was at FIBA. The rules are different the talent is different. Also, the ratings aren't wrong especially when your best argument begins with "I feel like....."

"I feel"....your right :wink:

My Pistons Look Str8 So Far I Wonder What They Rated Tracy Mcgrady, Charlie V, and Ben Gordon
The Lakers Lineup Looks Up To Par Hopefully Lamar Is In The Mid 80s I Dont Really Feed Into The Ratings That Much If The Players Play Like They Suppose To Im Fine With That BUT The Only Thing That Caught My Eye Is Tony Parkers Rating.....Damn

Plus he has a ring.

I was with you until this. Jack Haley also has a ring. Who is Jack Haley, you ask?


Only the worst player to ever don a Bulls uniform, but he's got a ring too.

[chunt04]

okay, THIS is a very good point. Hopefully it has something to do with the position

agreed...theres definitely something not right about that. Wall's rating will be lowered immediately for me. That will be the first thing I do when I get my hands on the game. lol

One last time .. hopefully y'all get this:

For all those with the Dwight Howard and Tim Duncan comparisons .. c'mon. If you really know basketball - Tim 9even last season) is a better overall ball player than Dwight. Dwight's offensive awareness alone would suck down his average -- but his dunks and blocks are likely still 99. So you figure
Dwight 99 (dunks)+99 (blocks)+ 60 (offensive awareness) = 86 (rounded)
vs Tim 83 (dunks) + 87 (blocks) + 94 (offensive awareness) = 88
-------
Please dont obscure my point by focusing on the specific numbers .. just understand the logic.
Same goes with a lot of the other ratings .. your debates will still be there .. but understand that this is a critical factor when looking at differences of 1-2 points. Specialists will generally have lower overall numbers .. fyi. Dwight is a definitely a specialist if I ever saw one.
Young bucks on here .. keep reading man -- it'll get your bball IQ up. This stuff even helps on the real courts.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Darren Collison is an 80 while Marcus Thornton is 69?

C'mon nah.

Yeah Marcus should at least be in the mid to low 70'S

[Stickz24]

So when you look at two players who are close in numbers .. ask yourself .. who more of a specialist? That person's number should likely be the lower of the two .. ala Rose and Rondo - Melo and Durant.
They kept Kobe, Wade and Lebron the same .. to keep these forums from exploding .. lol.

Darren Collison is an 80 while Marcus Thornton is 69?

C'mon nah.

The ratings are position specific. I'm sure you'd agree Collison is a better PG than Thornton is at SG?

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

thats wierd get put out in first round of the playoffs and better than pierce i dont see stephen jackson being better than paul pierce this year

You guys do realize that Sjackson is playing at the 2 for Charlotte right? Each position rates players differently. You cant compare Sjack and Pierce because they are listed at different positions.

Now if you were comparing Melo and Pierce then that would be different, SJ is a SG on that breakdown and Pierce is a SF...if you change Sjack to a SF in the game Im pretty sure his rating wont be higher but these ratings are rating him as a 2

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

For real, man.

Maybe it's cuz they have his D down low or something. Could be one of those deals where his offense is in the low 80s and his D is in the 50s, so it all averages out. Still, I don't think he's 11 whole points lower than Collison.

They're were pretty much what and what. Just Collison gets the recognition cuz he was taking over for CP3.

Actually I was trying to refer to the 2k11 commercial with David Lee, Derrick Rose, and Rondo but it didnt come off that way.

Re: NBA 2K11: Starting Five Roster Ratings

Here is the rating scale for 2k

RATING GUIDE
95-99: Goats (Greatest of All-Time. Not the animal.)
90-94: Superstar (All-NBA First Team mainstays)
85-89: Perennial All-Star (All-NBA Second Team)
80-84: All-Star Caliber (possible All-Stars or even All-NBA Third Team)
75-79: Average NBA Starter (or Sixth Man of Year contenders)
70-74: Below Average Starter (or typical 6th/7th men)
65-69: Rotation Player (8th-10th men)
60-64: End of Bench (11th-15th men and most D-League callups)
55-59: Should not be in NBA (i.e. training camp invites w/ non-guaranteed deals)
50-54: Hopefully earned their college degree.

That scale is meaningless. We have all seen players with the 'right' individual ratings outperform players with much higher overalls. The offensive awareness rating alone can swing the overall 10 points or more and offensive awareness doesn't really do much unless you are siming.

[biggiejerseys]

Dirk's rating is too low imo.
